Mikhail Grigorenko has been deemed ineligible for Prospect Tournament

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that forward Mikhail Grigorenko will not participate in the upcoming 2013 NHL Prospect Tournament in Traverse City, Mich. Grigorenko was deemed to be ineligible for the tournament because of the number of NHL games he appeared on the Sabres’ roster in the 2012-13 season.

The 19-year-old Grigorenko, Buffalo's first selection (12th overall) in the 2012 Entry Draft, recorded five points (1+4) in 25 games with the Sabres last season.
